This morning I woke up to Danny knocking on my door asking if I wanted to eat breakfast. I wasn't feeling the effects of jet lag. I'm guessing that is because I slept most of the time on the plane and took sleeping pills to pass out when I got to the dorms. Then I 
was introduced to the other guys (Ari, Ivan, Ankit, Nick, Rick and Jeremy). They all seemed really cool and I knew I would enjoy my stay here after being introduced. From the dorms we left to grab some breakfast. We stopped in this little shop right off the street and ate. The food was pretty good, I just got a sandwich with this different doughy bread, pork and lettuce. I also had milk tea to drink which is a mixture of soy milk and tea. This is a very common drink here and is very good. After breakfast we walked around for a bit and finally stopped and decided to play some basketball. There we met this high school kid Terry and after playing he wanted us to scrimmage his team the next morning. He said he wanted to practice playing against a tall person like myself. When we were all worn out we decided to clean up for the visit to Dr. Chin's place.

Dr. Chin's apartment was about a ten minute walk from our dorms. When arriving to his place I then realized that the Taiwanese people do not have the luxury of space like we do in the U.S.. I was curious to how we would all fit, but it all worked out. There we were all asked to sign his guest book and then we made a ton of dumplings. We had both vegetarian and pork because half the people in our group do not eat pork. We also had a few other dishes like cucumbers and yellow watermelon. After dinner we all just hung out and talked. It was a great evening.
